Hey,

Don't have a 32 GTR myself, but i figure make sure you get any car cheacked out before buying buying it. If all comes back ok, then your choice on purchace, but i would suggest getting a full service and definatlly a Dyno, as you wouldn't know when the last time it would have had one.

Went through the same issues before buting my 33 GTS wasn't sure what to get, bought my mates GTS and took it to get dyno and it has Power FC and it was all over the shop!!

If your debating the RWD/4WD issue, go the 4WD cos in the GTR's it only takes a relay switch in cab for changing as you please. :headspin:

Whichever way you decide to go I would reccommend doing a full inspection including compression and leak down test. Sure it costs more, but will save you money in the long run.

Make sure it is done by a reputable place too. We have plenty of good workshops here in Sydney, so don't skimp on finding the right car.

im trying to make the same decision here, except i got 3 car choices - r32/s2-r33 gtst + r32 gtr

duno which way i should go. i need something that will fit this: everyday car - roomy - quick - looks nice - not bad on fuel consumption - no more than $21k (gtr would be imported for less).

unfortunately you will not be able to get a decent GTR imported and ON ROAD for less than 21K any more. also, GTR is not very economical (2.6lt TT lugging around 1500kgs), not very roomy either, but I wouldn't have any other car. :)

GTR! i've got a R33 Gts25t Series 2 but after running my modified gts against a friends DEAD STOCK GTR i was so embrassed that i only managed to match his performance (for a straight line) and i'm running 1.3bar of boost (18.85psi!)

go the GTR! you'll never regret it!

R32 GTR's in good nick are ok but there aren't many of those around.

Unless you have the money for insurance and engine rebuild, stick with a GTS-T.

RB26 engines are race orientated motors that from Japan especially will need some reasonable work on them at around 120-140,000 km due to poor servicing, gone through a few hands and been thrashed by everyone.

A good , genuine low km, Jap import with proven history will cost you over 30K these days.

Having said that, we have a client with an Oz delivered one with 230,000km on the clock and the engine is fine ( stand up rev 210 ).:)

Cheers

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
